30 days of songs

On Facebook all of my friends are posting 30 days of songs and corresponding videos. I was going to do it as well but I hate filling up my friends pages with inane shit all of the time. I feel like instead of sharing who we are, sometimes we share what we wish we were. Social networking has become so strange.

I stray from topic right here *- Last night I was sitting in the bar to have a drink with 3 coworkers. We all were on our cell phones talking to other people while we were talking to each other. *I am not this important* I am not so special that I should not be paying attention to my other friends and then after having drinks contacting my other friends. But somehow this rude behavior is just normal for people now...so weird. -* Now back to 30 songs

So I decided I am going to post my 30 days of songs here because I still participated but not with everyone. Instead a stranger gets a look into who I am right now as expressed by interest in music.

day 01 - your favorite song
Is a tie between two songs so I am posting them both.
First: The Host of Seraphim by Dead Can Dance. Picking one song from Dead Can Dance that I love most is unusually difficult however this one has moved me since the first time I heard it in my late teens.


the other song I have chosen as a favorite is: Song to the Siren as performed by This Mortal Coil...it moves me.




Day 02 - your least favorite song

Least favorite...hrmm does that mean a favorite still but with less importance? Honestly I know this means a song I may dislike however that is what it should say instead of least favorite. I have never understood using that "term" for something I do not like.
Anyway...

Least favorite/disliked song: Tiny Tim - Tiptoe Through The Tulips
This song and Tiny Tim always made me want to rip my ears from my very head...just drives me bonkers.




day 03 - a song that makes you happy
This one definitely for this point in my life: Atmosphere - The Best Day



day 04 - a song that makes you sad

Oh lord this one was the easiest to pinpoint ever
Known as the Hungarian Suicide Song "Gloomy Sunday" it tugs at my heart strings and makes me sad for real.




day 05 - a song that reminds you of someone
Okay...this is a bit open because many songs remind me of many people...so I will have to assume that this means someone close to my heart. In which case I would think of my sister Rebecca who died when I was about 10...the song is from Debbie Boone - You Light Up My Life...it was the song played at her funeral




day 06 - a song that reminds you of somewhere
Well since I am from Arizona...The Eagles - Take It Easy....this song has always made me think about Arizona even when I was there.




day 07 - a song that reminds you of a certain event
Royal Scottish Bagpipes - The Black Bear ...reminds me of the Highland games



and I will fill in more later.
